C. T. Boswell, 63, Helped Organize Ice Cream Firm
Funeral services were held this morning for Ceylon T. Boswell, 63, who died Thursday of a heart attack at 11 D street S.E., his family's home for 100 years.
Mr. Boswell, whose family came to Washington and to Capitol Hill in 1810, was a graduate of the old Business High School here and was one of the organizers of the Colonial Ice Cream Co. in the early 1920s. He remained with the company as secretary-treasurer until it was sold in 1953 to the Delvale Ice Cream Co. of Baltimore.
After sale of Colonial, Mr. Boswell turned his extensive knowledge of early Washington houses to use in restoration projects on the Hill, in association with his brother, H. Curley Boswell, whose firm has been doing restoration work for nearly 30 years.
Mr. Boswell, a bachelor, leaves two brothers, H. Curley, of the home address, and William H., a retired deputy fire chief, of 1523 Twenty-eighth street S.E., and three sisters, Camille V., of the home, Mrs. Marguerite Stewart, 1508 Webster street N.W., and Mrs. Elizabeth L. Barnett, 3500 Fourteenth street N.W.
